linddykal 's review for:

Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler
3.0

"She leaned forward a little and her smile became just a little glassy. Suddenly, without any real change in her, she ceased to be beautiful. She looked merely like a woman who would have been dangerous one hundred years ago, and twenty years ago daring, but who today was just Grade B Hollywood."

I love Chandler's clipped descriptions and dialogue. I just finished the book and I couldn't tell you the plot. Somehow his writing is good enough that you don't care.
